30s across wales, the same across northern england, northern ireland approaching 30 degrees as well this afternoon and up to around 28 celsius three parts of central scotland. there is exception to this hot story, it is a bit more refreshing on some of the beaches but the northern and western isles, here we have temperatures in the mid to high teens, a good deal more comfortable than for some of you. we have cloud and tonight we will see outbreaks of rain. sunny story for many. a bit of cloud floating around here and there and there will be again through tonight but most places staying dry. notice i'm stopping at midnight to show the temperatures, tough night to get to sleep. at midnight temperature still across much of england and wales in the mid to high 20s. they are not going to drop a huge amount as we go through the rest of the night and into the morning. what we will see across many parts of england and wales is a tropical night where temperatures stay above 20 degrees, in one or two spots 22,20 temperatures stay above 20 degrees, in one or two spots 22, 20 three celsius, close to the warmestjuly night on record. because we started the day with temperatures like this it's going to be an even hotter day.

there will be cloud and outbreaks of rain, greater chance of getting wet across the northern and western isles and a few changes later, south—west england, wales and northern ireland, cloud increasing and the chance of heavy and thundery showers bringing a change for all of us eventually. isolated storms and showers in north—east england but note the temperatures tomorrow, grilling across western areas relative today, getting hot in the east, 32 celsius in parts of aberdeenshire 35 around the borders of scotland and england but the exceptional heat will be a bit further north across eastern england, we are talking temperatures of around a1 a2 celsius across parts of around a1 a2 celsius across parts of the east midlands, lincolnshire and also yorkshire. these are temperatures way higher than our body temperatures, and this is why our health may start to suffer. we will see some changes through tuesday evening and tuesday night, all getting too hot, sporadic thunderstorms working across england. some will stay completely dry, cannot guarantee them everywhere. plan developing across western and northern areas on wednesday morning but as it develops its stars to assure the change, the

pressure moves eastwards and behind these fronts will start to see the wind coming to a more northerly and westerly direction. some thunderstorms on wednesday, a bit of sunshine, but cloudier and a bit cooler. still hot in the south—east on a bit relative to what we will see in the next few days a good deal more comfortable. see in the next few days a good deal more comfortable. there see in the next few days a good deal more comfortable. there is see in the next few days a good deal more comfortable. there is a see in the next few days a good deal more comfortable. there is a relief. thank you very much, matt. a reminder of our top story: red warning is in place causing widespread disruption is temperatures are forecast to reach over a0 degrees this week. i temperatures are forecast to reach over 40 degrees this week. i would encoura . e over 40 degrees this week. i would encourage peeple _ over 40 degrees this week. i would encourage people to _ over 40 degrees this week. i would encourage people to heed - over 40 degrees this week. i would encourage people to heed the - encourage people to heed the warnings that are out there. we have a balance where we might not see very much good weather and we want to enjoy it but we are talking about temperatures that we haven't experienced in this country ever. that's all from the bbc news that one, so it's goodbye from me, and

england's ben stokes has announced he is retiring from one—day international cricket. he has played 10a matches. his most memorable performance would be in the 2019 cricket world cup final at lord's when his unbeaten 8a sent the match into a super over as england claim theirfirst icc world cup title. he will continue playing t20 and test cricket. in a statement he says unsustainable for me now. "this has been an incredibly tough decision to make. i have loved every minute of playing with my mates for england. we have had an incredible

journey on the way."" disappointment for dina asher smith at the world athletics championships — despite equalliing her own british record, she missed out on a medal. she finished fourth running in 10.83 in eugene. while it was a jamaica 1—2—3, shelly—ann fraser—pryce claiming a record fifth title with a championship record and becomes the first person to win five world titles in an indicidual event. dina who won silver in the 100 metres in doha in 2019 was frustrated not get on the podium this time. it sucks. so close. we've got the 200, which i am definitely, definitely very fired up for. it is good. it was a crazy final. he had to run 10.96 to get in, so... happy with my performance,

but obviously... katarina johnson—thompson is sixth after four events as she tries to retain her heptathlon world title. still looking to return to fitness after multiple injuries, but her second place finish in the 200 metres helped to move her up the standings. she's only competed in one full heptathlon since a calf injury saw her collapse to the track at last year's olympics. matt hudson—smith won his heat to reach wednesday's men's a00 metre semi—finals, where he will be joined by team—mate alex haydock—wilson. the brilliant 6a to win his first major. his 20 under parfinish beats the previous record of 19 under set by tiger woods in 2000 however, when

asked about rumours linking him with the move to the la be seriously declined to fill it out saying that his team worries about all of that stuff. meanwhile, there are reports that another player is set to join the series. the swede who was appointed as the successor last month has been rather tight—lipped on the subject. the head of condemned the actions of australia fans towards england coach eddie jones after he was heckled by supporters during the second test victory. he was involved in two altercations with supporters who called him a traitor. the comments by spectators were called unacceptable and not representative of the values of rugby. a reminder that england will be playing their third and final odi in the next half an hour and third and final odi in the next half an hourand you third and final odi in the next half an hour and you can also listen on

five live sports extra and follow it on the bbc sport website as well. i will bring you all the latest in the next hour and i will see you then. more now on our top story about the extreme heat across central and southern england. farms are among the businesses that will be most affected by the hot weather — with the nationalfarming union issuing advice after fire crews attended multiple incidents in east anglia and the south in the last month. joining me now to talk about the impact of the extreme weather on farms, including his own is bbc countryfile presenter & farmer adam henson, who runs costwold farm park. good afternoon. thank you for joining us on the news here. tell is a little bit more about your fireman and the sort of challenges that you are facing in this weather. we and the sort of challenges that you are facing in this weather.- are facing in this weather. we are livestock and _ are facing in this weather. we are livestock and arable _ are facing in this weather. we are livestock and arable and - are facing in this weather. we are livestock and arable and we - are facing in this weather. we are livestock and arable and we have | are facing in this weather. we are i livestock and arable and we have all of our rare breeds on display to the

general public can come and visit and we are having to provide, usually do, really, shade full of the animals but really making that there is plenty full of the different species so under trees, we are putting up artificial shelter as well put up drinking water all the time but with the pigs we are providing below so they can get in amongst the mud which adds as sunscreen and with the arable business, with the crops, we've just started harvest and this dry weather is drying the crops out so they're almost too dry to cut so our oilseed rape we would usually cut at around about 9% moisture and you can't cut it below six. at the moment it is for so it has got to dry. the farm is 0 en for so it has got to dry. the farm is open to _ for so it has got to dry. the farm is open to members _ for so it has got to dry. the farm is open to members of— for so it has got to dry. the farm is open to members of the - for so it has got to dry. the farm l is open to members of the public, isn't it, to come and see the animals and may be to touch the animals. are you having to change

that in any way? an imaginary discovery barn, where we handle rabbits and chicks and bottle feed lambs and those sorts of things, we're just holding off some of the animal handling because it is too hard and stressful for the animals. people can still come in and see them and visit them and in our walkway for all our animals are out and about in the walkways we do animalfeeding so and about in the walkways we do animal feeding so they can buy food for the goats and the goats don't mind the heat at all. they love it. because we are about 800 foot above sea level there is actually quite a breeze out here on top of the cotswolds so it is hot but it is not unbearable. how lucky you are. is this a one—off occurrence for you or is there something that is becoming either familiar or regular? it is there something that is becoming either familiar or regular?— either familiar or regular? it seems we're getting _ either familiar or regular? it seems we're getting extremes. _ either familiar or regular? it seems we're getting extremes. it - either familiar or regular? it seems we're getting extremes. it is - either familiar or regular? it seems we're getting extremes. it is in - either familiar or regular? it seems we're getting extremes. it is in the | we're getting extremes. it is in the news and the press of the time that were getting extreme colds. it does seem that it is something that we might have to think about carefully

in the future and already there are growing patterns changing in agriculture so farmers in the south—east and the south downs are turning growing grapes for wine and we have the same champagne region and we have the same temperature is now so we are growing good sparkling wine in this country and things are changing. slowly, gradually, but definitely changing. 50 changing. slowly, gradually, but definitely changing.— changing. slowly, gradually, but definitely changing. so your farm was opened _ definitely changing. so your farm was opened by — definitely changing. so your farm was opened by your— definitely changing. so your farm was opened by your father, - definitely changing. so your farm was opened by your father, i - was opened by your father, i believe, in the early 19705. do you think your farming believe, in the early 19705. do you think yourfarming in believe, in the early 19705. do you think your farming in a different way from him? no, not really. there's all the technology we are using now. it is an amazing diverse art of world we live in with all the technology on board but as far as our livestock displays, our core message, we are arable farming as we were before and the footprint of the farm park is in the same place so nothing has particularly changing

our members a child in 1976 having the real hot summer then and it is similar to that, it seems. i remember 1976, two. let's get more now on that report saying the prospect of being sent to rwanda is not deterring asylum seekers from crossing the channel in small boats. that's according to the home affairs select committee, which says the rwanda plan — announced three months ago — is not a "silver bullet solution". our home affairs correspondent, june kelly reports. last year, 28,500 people came to the uk in small boats. so far this year, 1a,000 have arrived —

and by the end of 2022 the figure could rocket to 60,000. the mp5 believe migrants aren't deterred by the fact that the uk may not be the end of theirjourney, and they could be sent on to rwanda. we are questioning the deterrent effect, and we've certainly asked the home office to provide evidence and modelling of how they've reached the conclusion that this policy is the right way to go. it hasn't been forthcoming. we're also concerned about the cost of it. in northern france, migrants plan how they're going to get across the channel, seeing it as the final short leg of their long journeys. the uk should seek a deal with the french, say the mp5, which would allow processing facilities to be set up so that people can be assessed here as to whether they are eligible to be admitted to the uk. they believe that those given permission would then not have to pay the criminal gangs. in response to the mp5' report, the home office says its new plan

for immigration will support those in genuine need, while preventing illegal and dangerous journeys. and it says those who are put on a plane to rwanda can rebuild their lives there. the first planned flight was stopped last month by the european court of human rights. june kelly, bbc news. in the last few years we've become used to seeing footage from video cameras worn by police officers. but — from today, in a uk first — every frontline officer in west midlands police will be live streaming those body—cam images back to their control room — so the situation can be monitored in real time. our midlands correspondent phil mackie has been to see the new technology in action. siren wails. response officers beth and darren have been called out on a fairly typicaljob. so we're just going to a third party report that his neighbour has been robbed and attacked by four to five white males. no other details as of yet. injury to the head.

apparently he's been hit with a glass bottle. but when they arrive, there's a difference. both officers have switched on their cameras and are sending a live stream back to the control room. he got the bottle and raised it up. smashed it across my head. yeah, i've seen some damage on your door. who's done that? them. they've done that as well, have they? do you want an ambulance? we'll take you to the hospital. this is the control room where it's all being monitored. so as you can see, we've got two cameras up — darren�*s and beth's — both live streaming at the moment. there's been a robbery. the victim's also had a glass bottle hit, so he's been cut. so they're talking to him. and as you can see, ian can watch it. and if there were any need to send additional resources, they would be able to do that partly by watching the live stream. this will show me where all the cameras are. different, obviously colours.

the green are currently live cameras. we've got 280 cameras out there. i can livestream you. there you go. you're in. so this is where it all happened on this front garden. this is some footage they've recorded during the trial. it shows how much this can help. in this case, forensic officers viewing remotely the scene of a stabbing. ok, so it's all happened here, where you're looking. this is another piece of equipment that we've purchased. actually really does help take us to the forefront of policing, so we're able to livestream in on all of those different scenarios. we'll be looking at using it in areas where we have people in crisis to get the right advice and help there. and again, it'sjust looking to different ways of us using this. at the moment, there's probably four or five main reasons we see. but actually, as officers start to use this, as staff start to use this, i think more and more ideas will come in to make us more efficient and better. the cameras only start live streaming when they're switched on and there's an active incident. for the purposes of this, john's switched his camera on so that we can test it out, and they can see me in the control room.

back in aston, jamie's having the cut to his head cleaned up. on top of the injury, he's had about £60 stolen. hopefully, they get him. hopefully. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. the headlines on bbc news... britain's first—ever red extreme heat warning comes into effect for most of england as the country gets ready for what could become the hottest day on record with london becoming one of the hottest places in the world. high temperatures are forecast across the uk — with amber warnings in the rest of england, all of wales, and parts of scotland with warnings also of travel disruption. the government holds emergency cobra meetings in response to the heatwave as climate experts tell the bbc extreme weather like this could become the norm. now it's time for some of the stories making the headlines across the uk

for the first time ever, a red warning for extreme heat has come into effect for large parts of the uk. it means there's a danger to life and the threat of major travel disruption. emergency services are urging people to take the warning seriously. a west midlands ambulance service says it's seen a rise in the number of heat related calls. meanwhile, schools are being encouraged to take steps to ensure pupils are safe, such as allowing pupils to wear pe kits instead of uniforms. amy cole reports. more than eighty—thousand people are expected to attend the farnborough airshow this week.

a massive rescue operation was launched yesterday afternoon in the river at ovingham. our correspondent mark denten is at the scene now—mark. what more do we know? what we know is around 415 — what more do we know? what we know is around 415 yesterday _ what more do we know? what we know is around 415 yesterday afternoon - is around a15 yesterday afternoon the emergency services were called here to reports that a boy was in difficulty in the water. there was a massive operation involving the police, the ambulance, and mountain rescue. it all took place here over a few hours yesterday afternoon. very sadly, it has been confirmed by the police that they found a body of a 13—year—old boy. formal identification has taken place but the police are saying they believe they have found the missing boy. basically, today, we see members of the boys family and also fence down here at the river tyne laying flowers, paying tribute to him but in this area of the country we are

not on a bed that morning at the moment. even before those high temperatures that we see, this is the first death and what safety organisations are stressing is that however inviting the water looks at the moment, however high the temperatures are, there is real risk of cold water shock and a real risk of cold water shock and a real risk of death as people go into the river even though it looks very inviting. thank you very much and apologies for some of the glitches i am told that the equipment has been overheating because of the temperatures so that is why. thank you more than eighty—thousand people are expected to attend you the farnborough airshow this week. it's the first time the show has taken place since 2018. there's an increasing focus at the event on aviation's contribution to global warming. novel fuels, and electric planes

are among the ideas being proposed as ways of reducing air travel�*s impact on the environment. joe campbell reports. it relies not on the ground but feel made synthetically using water and carbon captured from the atmosphere. you're the man who came up with idea. talk us through, five achieve something like this? the idea. talk us through, five achieve something like this?— something like this? the synthetic fuel is really _ something like this? the synthetic fuel is really the _ something like this? the synthetic fuel is really the only _ something like this? the synthetic fuel is really the only answer - something like this? the synthetic fuel is really the only answer to i fuel is really the only answer to replace all those many applications we use petroleum fuels today. aircraft is a really clear example.

mainstream aviation and the problem with global warming is the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the air. it is the fossil carbon that we've dug out of rock and so this is what we have to do. thea;t this is what we have to do. they have already — this is what we have to do. they have already tried _ this is what we have to do. they have already tried this - this is what we have to do. they have already tried this out. they will try to go from that process. joe campbell reporting their joe campbell european bison have been released into the kent countryside to help restore the area to its natural state. bison disappeared from the british isles over 1,000 years ago. now four have been reintroduced to the west blean and thornden woods near canterbury. it's hoped their reintroduction will bring a number of benefits.

now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor we have in the midst of a stoic speu we have in the midst of a stoic spell of weather here in the uk. unlikely without the interference of a warming climate. that is emphasised by the fact of the red extreme heat warning issued by the met office across many parts of central and wider amber warning across other parts of england, wales and southern scotland. even as we go into the evening temperatures in the upper 305. as temperatures likely to be towards london, the cambridge sort of area. many places still in the 305. mid 205 across parts of

northern ireland and central scotland. more comfortable here and seen temperatures into the high teens. it is here we could see outbreaks of rain develop through tonight but temperatures can fluctuate due to showers drifting their way eastwards and by midnight we are seeing temperatures in the mid to high 205 and barely falling and some starting the day with temperatures around 20 or 22 and temperatures around 20 or 22 and temperatures could take a step further into tuesday. there will be outbreaks of rain and the first signs of some change in south—west england, south wales and into northern ireland later in the day so heavy potentially thundery showers developing. most places dry, an isolated shower later on but exceptionally hot. hot air across eastern areas then we will see through today. 32 celsius in paris

and aberdeenshire but the peak in the heat is looking likely across the heat is looking likely across the east midlands for linkage and yorkshire where some spots well above where we have seen previous record stood. heavy showers and thunderstorms. hit and mist with some places staying dry. a wholesale change to something fresher. these fronts were being outbreaks of showery rain. most likely across eastern parts of england. temperatures will feel cooler but still pretty warm.

this is bbc news, i'm ben brown and these are the latest headlines: britain's first ever red extreme heat warning comes into effect for most of england as the country gets ready for what could become the hottest day on record, with london becoming one of the hottest places in the world. the unprecedented heat is calling transport disruption what advice to only travel if it is absolutely necessary as we reach the hottest date so far this year with temperatures set to rise even further. it is not just further. it is notjust the daytime heat, it is how it will be overnight when temperatures don't drop below 20 celsius. day, night time sheet combined contributes to heat stress.
